First, as part of a focus operation in October, 1,500 bars were found in the trunk of the bus. During another routine check in mid-November, 16 boxes with a total of 1,040 pieces of Dubai chocolate were again discovered in the same Turkish coach. "This seizure shows that our colleagues are always up to date. Our checks are important contributions to the protection of decent companies that comply with the rules and pay taxes and duties in accordance with the law. Taxes and duties also finance, for example, roads, schools and hospitals," said Finance Minister Gunter Mayr.
